King Gerald Tells Students To Be Ready To "Fight To The Death"



The Philadelphia Church of God, under the mighty hand of King Gerald, continues down the path of doing everything they can to talk about anyone but Jesus.

PCG and Flurry have been waxing eloquently about Queen Elizabeth, Winston Churchill, and other notable people from history over the past couple of years. Lil'Stevie is holding book groups to discuss these people. They are currently focused upon Abraham Lincoln as a sign of spiritual virtue. Jesus be damned. He is not worthy to be mentioned much in the PCG other than that he is ANGRY and keeps delaying his return. Petra forbid, if PCG ever openly discussed the dude.

King Gerald recently told his students that they need to be ready to fight to the death and must have a grand strategy. One of the reasons Flurry reads these books is to inspire his students and members to be people of passion and who will sitck to the task at hand, as many of his famous notables have/had.

Couple this drive and zeal along with King Gerlad's biblical interpretations and you have a nightmare in the making.

COG youth at the various church "colleges" and "educational" facilities have been subjected from the early days of present church history with one absurd tale after another as a result of false prophetic understanding. These crazy premonitions and blatant lies have been mentally and spiritually damaging to those young people, but the COGs do not care.

GF continues to talk strange, but really it is foolish, which is nothing new for him. The August 19 Friday Philadelphian, says that at the HWAC orientation, GF gave a lecture about “lessons from Abraham Lincoln” (this was to add to his presumptuous sermon he gave in May about Abraham Lincoln. To read about that sermon scroll up to the May 22 letter on this page: “GF’s Presumptions About Abraham Lincoln.”) At the orientation he told the students “they must be willing to fight to the death and must have a grand strategy.” [all bolding mine] Now why on earth would students be told to “fight to the death”? That kind of talk is more likely what the adult members would be told as they are often instructed to stick it out in PCG, or else they will die spiritually. An emphasis was placed on “going on the offensive in spiritual warfare.” This college is certainly not Christ-centered, but it is undeniably fear-centered. –FL Exit and Support Network

  2. I believe we know the problem.

    Characteristics of a Cult

    The group is focused on a living leader to whom members seem to display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment.

    The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.

    The group is preoccupied with making money.

    Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.

    Mind-numbing techniques (such as meditation, chanting, speaking in tongues, denunciation sessions, debilitating work routines) are used to suppress doubts about the group and its leader(s).

    The leadership dictates sometimes in great detail how members should think, act, and feel (for example: members must get permission from leaders to date, change jobs, get married; leaders may prescribe what types of clothes to wear, where to live, how to discipline children, and so forth).

    The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s), and members (for example: the leader is considered the Messiah or an avatar; the group and/or the leader has a special mission to save humanity)
    .
    The group has a polarized us-versus-them mentality, which causes conflict with the wider society.

    The group’s leader is not accountable to any authorities (as are, for example, military commanders and ministers, priests, monks, and rabbis of mainstream denominations).

    The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify means that members would have considered unethical before joining the group (for example: collecting money for bogus charities).

    The leadership induces guilt feelings in members in order to control them.

    Members’ subservience to the group causes them to cut ties with family and friends, and to give up personal goals and activities that were of interest before joining the group.
    Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group members.

    1. Interesting thoughts. I've known and know a few like that.
      Even the ones who perceive themselves as liberal can be worse or the same as the more conservative ones.
      Power and control a plague on modern christianity. Always about power and control.

  3. Lincoln was a complex individual who is often reduced to a very one-dimensional snapshot to fit the agenda of the person citing him. I have a hard time believing the Flurrys aren't doing the same.

  4. I could picture in my mind (like the scene in the movie Brave Heart), where the Irish dance interested King Flurry, when facing off in battle declares.... "Send in the Irish"! as human cannon fodder.

  5. “King Gerald Tells Students To Be Ready To 'Fight To The Death'”


    Gerald probably meant, “Irish Dance To The Death.”
